Some of my favorites:

"Fifty-five miles per hour?"
"No, words! That's all we've got! Hurry! Please!"
Perspiration trickled down his neck; he stepped harder on the accelerator.

"Ten," she murmured.
"Ten?"
"Six."
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes!"

His love has gone. In despair, he flung himself off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Coincidentally, a few yars away, a girl made her own suicide plunge.
The two passed in midair.
Their eyes met.
Their chemistry clicked.
It was true love.
They realized it.
Three feet above the water.

The newlywed heiress oozed, "Poopsy, the sign reads, 'Clairvoyant Canyon, Call Out a Question. Wait for Answering Echoes.'"
Overhanging a guardrail, she called, "Does he love me?"
"- Does he? Does he?" came the encho.
Discomfited, she tried again. "Is unhappiness behind me?"
"-Behind you, behind you -" it prognosticated, just before her new beneficiary shoved.
